    Some runs would be nice.

    I keep waiting for the "offense explosion" that the broadcast team has been talking about.

    Typical Cubs. Bats go silent in the playoffs, broken fn record.
    Pitching usually wins in the playoff. Otherwise those Yankees teams would have won more World Series.

    Surprised we used Almora Jr as a PH so early in the game. Thought we would save him for his late game defense.

    Ahead in the count 0-2 and he lets the pitcher get a hit? Just a huge mental mistake right there.

    3 fastballs right down the middle?

    How is Matt Moore making hitters look so bad tonight?

    We've done this to plus 4 ERA guys all year. Rizzo has swung at more balls than whore on a Friday night. Crafty pitchers give our team problems.

    Was nice of Fowler to run us right out of an inning there.

    I'm with Wobbie. Baez is really special out there. (Also the skip Bayless commercials make me want to pound a nail through my foot.)
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Toast. Book it. Fowler caught looking twice, runs us out of an inning. Lackey with an 0-2 pipe shot to a pitcher. Rizzo lost at the plate. Russell forgot how to hit (besides the fact that he's hitting in the wrong spot. Or hottest hitter from last post season, Soler, barely gets a shot in favor of a guy who hasn't hit all year (Heyward). Rondon turns into Marmol. Zobrist can't get a clutch hit to save his life.

    Bryant and Baez really looked good this series - and Jake and Lester did their job (although Lester gets an incomplete until Thursday, but I'm not optimistic). It'll be nice to have Schwarber back..... We need his bat to make Heyward a high priced bench guy/defensive replacement.

    No harm, as we got the end result anyway..... But fuck Jason Heyward. Stupidest hitter I've maybe ever seen. His contract was a mistake.
